Departments

Food and Nutrition

Food and nutrition are the way that we get fuel, providing energy for our bodies. We need to replace nutrients in our bodies with a new supply every day. Water is an important component of nutrition. Fats, proteins, and carbohydrates are all required. Furthermore, the food and nutrition curriculum provides youth with the understanding of being self-sufficient in meeting their own nutritional needs while also implementing a plant-based lifestyle for prolonged health and prosperity.

Mental and Physical Wellness

Physical fitness and health are essential for a healthy scholar. However, we look at physical fitness as more than athleticism but we look at nutrition, sex education, and naturopathy to improve the outcomes of our community. Furthermore, understanding one’s mental health makes it easier to weather challenges that may come our way. We all face challenges throughout our lives. However, being able to face those challenges with the appropriate tools creates opportunities for young scholars to have better health outcomes when it comes to stress, loss, failure, and much more.

Language Arts

The language arts curriculum provides a true multidisciplinary immersion as young scholars learn English, Hebrew, and Arabic at the core of all of their courses. Also, they can continue their studies of the different world languages by experiencing Sign Language, Spanish, and more.

World Cultures

The world cultures curriculum decentralizes European thought and history and provides a true scope of world history. Young scholars look at history and culture through the eyes of people from African, Arab, Asian, Austronesian, Hebrew, and North and South American Indigenous communities.

Business Development

The business development curriculum provides a focus on both for-profit and nonprofit operations. Business development entails tasks and processes to develop and implement growth opportunities within and between organizations.

The civics and economics curriculum examines the roles citizens play in the political, governmental, and economic systems in their country. Young scholars will examine the structure and operation of government at the local, state, and national levels. Furthermore, young scholars explore how people interact with value; in particular, the production, distribution, and consumption of goods and services.

Finance and Accounting

The finance and accounting curriculum will examine the measurement, processing, and communication of financial and nonfinancial information about economic entities (such as businesses and corporations) and people. Furthermore, young scholars explore matters regarding the management, creation, and study of money and investments.

Marketing and Communications

The marketing and communications curriculum explores different marketing channels and tools in combination with emphasis placed on ways a business communicates a message to its desired market or the market in general.

Science

The science curriculum is the pursuit and application of knowledge and understanding of the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence.

Mathematics

The mathematics curriculum is the study of the abstract science of number, quantity, and space.

The Diploma+ (Diploma Plus) program is designed to be an enhanced diploma that young scholars of the World Academy for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (WAIE) receive. A typical high school diploma signifies that an individual has completed their required secondary/high school education from an accredited institution. WAIE’s Diploma+ program is designed to provide not only the high school diploma young scholars need but also provide certifications and other degrees for the completion of specific academic work conducted during their time with us.

NOTE: WAIE will begin the accreditation review process three months before the school opens and will complete the certification accreditation review before the first graduation of our young scholars.

“The most important thing for any young person to do is to create a life for themselves that balances their mental health and happiness with a sustainable and comfortable income.”

The pathways we focus on are:
